   This is certainly a problem; if you follow the tutorials and download the SDKs with Android Studio, you will end up downloading SDK > 25.x and you won't be able to create packages with the Catkin way. There might be a simple way around this.

   I did a quick search and didn't find a replacement for android create project.
   The quickest fix I found is downloading build tools r25 and replacing the content of $ANDROID_HOME/tools with it: https://dl.google.com/android/repository/tools_r25.2.5-linux.zip.

   Another possible approach to the problem is generating the required files from the catkin_create_android_package directly instead of relying in an external tool. It basically creates the bottom-level buildscript, dummy manifest, resources and Activity, with some parameters as the target SDK and so on. That should be doable in the Python script.

   See rosjava/android_core#286 (comment).

   For now, to create a new Android app just create a package with the command line, and use android_tutorial_pubsub as a template, factoring out what you don't need.
